Resource profile / Family support
Consultation, education, and peer connection for survivors and loved ones concerned about coercive groups or relationships.
Founded by Ashlen Hilliard, People Leave Cults offers survivor consultations, support for concerned relatives and friends, professional education, and virtual groups. It also collaborates with SAFE on Portland meetups. Its services are described as consultation, psychoeducation, and peer support; the provider explicitly states they are not therapy or emergency care. People do not need to use the word cult for their experience to explore its resources.
These are the audiences described in the public material. Eligibility and personal fit should be discussed with the service directly.
We have not independently verified clinical quality, professional licenses, or suitability. A public-source review is not a recommendation or an endorsement by the service. No payment was received for this listing.
